Crocheting-a hobby

 I have taken up crocheting as a hobby and I’m really enjoying it. This summer I asked a friend to help me and she showed me some basic stitches. That day I learned how to make a Granny square but I was unable to do myself when I came home so I began watching YouTube videos and have learned many stitches I have made a variety of items using YouTube as my guide. I am learning to read crochet patterns too!  


This is my first ever project!! A blanket- I taught myself after watching videos to make this quilt, change yarn colors, and weave in yarn. 

Other projects include hats, one sock, a coaster, diaper covers, a bonnet (that was too big that I will go back to redo), and a sleep sack (I need to add buttons). Yes, many are the same color but that is ok- I have matching sets!!!










My current project is a puppy with accessories so far I have 4 legs and a tail. I have  projects on my list to complete this year. Stay tuned…..

More Disney pics










 

Disney 2023 -Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios


It was a cold day, but we managed it and some slight drizzle. We don’t get to show off our shirts during the day because we were bundled up with long sleeves, but we did pause to take a picture with our shirts. 









We were able to see many animals on the Safari ride. We rode it two times- once early in the morning and saw the most animals I believe we have ever seen and in the afternoon. We saw the Lion King Show, The birds show and Bug’s Life show. We were able to ride all the rides even after waiting for the MR Everest ride to reopen.  
At Hollywood Studios, we explored Star Wars land and got to see characters up close. We also were able to see the Neauty and the Beast Show and Fantasmic. We were able to catch all the rides too. 
Overall, we walked about 98,000 steps, made memories, laughed, loved, and spent times with those we love.
